Beschreibung
Hardly any other medieval event has been judged so contradictorily as the Crusades. For some they denote a „Clash of Civilizations“ between Islam and the West. Others seek out examples of peaceful cultural encounters between Christians and Muslims in the time of the Crusades. Kristin Skottki traces the contextual origins of these different interpretations and assesses the assumptions of historical research between the priorities of Orientalism, Occidentalism and Medievalism. At the same time she offers a narratological study of textual representations of encounters between Crusaders and Muslims in medieval chronicles of the First Crusade. Thus, not only does this study address the construction of identities and alterities, but also how to ethically engage with difficult texts from the medieval past.
